    Nothing wrong at all with feeling bitter Scarlett.1974 - especially if you're one of our clan who really really wanted a Something, that was in the dot com 75% sale, had her order messed up, and couldn't get to the shops to get one.

    Obviously the biggest mark-up for selling for these people is the highest priced and most popular item. I am now feeling evil, especially after I saw the white vanity case on ebay for £30!!!

    And peeps have obviously broken up the Mediterranean set that went for £2.50, and are selling the contents individually, for a higher mark up.

    No, Boots is supposed to be a retailer, not a wholesaler. We shall fight them in the aisles ....... we shall fight them in the lifts ........ well, I don't know about fight, but I shall certainly give them my Pursed Lips look!! Then run!

    Sandra - I also noticed people were breaking S & G sets up to sell individually on ebay. Thing is ebay is flooded with these items now and surely people will get bored of them. Maybe these greedy devils will end up with lots of unbought stuff on their hands!!! Hope so anyhow!!:T

    My little local has no reduced No 7 Broclo, Ive been in there just about every day this week :rolleyes: , but thanks to Valk Scots post will nw be jumping on the bus tomorrow to Edinburgh Fort, anything in particular you want?
    Finally, I can see you crystal clear
  • Decided tonight that I was going to have a lovely hot bubble bath, glass of wine and use some of my no7 products:p

    Body polish is fab and will last ages as you hardly need any - a blob the size of a baked bean did a whole arm and a slightly bigger blob does a leg (scientific, I know!) skin felt lovely and soft but then I used the hydroquench body cream and it is fantastic, my skin is soooooo smooth and lovely.

    So ladies, if you see any of this stuff at half price with blinkies I think it is a bargain, I have two of each and hopefully it should last a while and as I buy formula/nappies from boots anyway, in 'real money' it didn't cost anything!

    And, I actually think the time resist face cream is helping around the old eyes - or is it wishful thinking?? !!! LOL

    LONDINIUM BOOTS

    Regent Street (North of Oxford St)

    LOADS of clearance stuff, but as per their normal, no 75%, as they've clearence stickered them all at the half price price... I bought loads of Pretty Polly tights and hold ups from £5 down to 99p... I picked up 5 pairs as I didn't want to be greedy, but when the SA was ringing them up she said they were on 3-4-2 and I should grab another, so i did! £30 worth of tights for £4!!!

    Oxford Street - main store
    3 shelves of the St Tropez tanning sets, else mostly rubbish left. No clearance. Did have a small shelf of No 7 "going soon" stuff - got an Advanced Hydration Day Fluid for £1.49 (having used pinkie)

    Oxford Street - near Bond Street
    Again, lots of clearance but mostly sun products. Some 75% off stuff, including InSight The Look make up sets.

    Oxford Street - near TCR.
    OMG! SALE HEAVEN! Stil have lots of stuff... I brough a coulple of Lush sets with exfoliating mits, MG sports bags with towel, shampoo and shower gel, oriental bowl sets filled with toiletries and FCUK smellies with a hat (mens). They also had the Ted Baker sets with playing cards, lots of different MD sets - one with just smellies, one had a keyring bottle opener. They had several different Simpsons kits, some Yardley sets, the dodgy bookends, loads of different make up bags, erm... basically a surprising amount of stock (guessing they must have had a delivery this morning and am kicking myself for being a lazy moo!)

    This was all very late afternoon - we didn't leave the flat until 3.30pm and live a 30 min walk from these stores!
